Alright ....this week was rather interesting!!!!! My companion
had to get his wisdom teeth taken out on Tuesday. So we had to stay in the
house the whole day for almost all week. I did divisions with young men in the
ward too so that I could work a little bit. My companion is now feeling better
and we are gonna work.
Also this week was the first time I've gone to the
hospital in the mission......I went to go give a blessing haha! There was
a member sick and we went and gave him a blessing yesterday. Haven't heard
anything yet, but we are hoping he gets better quickly.
Today we went to a Brazilian grill!!!! It was super good! Our Bishop was very kind and paid for
us! It was so good though! I haven't had so much meat in a long time and how
good it was:)
Also always the favorite of Grilled Pineapple and here they put
cinnamon on it which just makes it even better!!! I love the whole thing! Also I bought a new suit that cost $90 super sweet and cheap!
This week we are
going to have another baptism! His name is Mauricio. He lives in a part member
family. His brother is in the mission right now and he just started going to
church like a month ago. He's liked everything and is changing and will be baptized
this week! Also something pretty cool that I have learned this week is the
power of making covenants with the Lord. Our zone leader taught us about daily
covenants that we can make. So I decided to make one. I didn't really even know
if I was going to leave to work that day cause my companion was still out of
it. But I felt I should make a covenant. I Promised that I would have a certain
number of lessons and contacts and a couple other things and I asked that if I
did that if the Lord would help me find 2 new people to teach. SO the day went
on and I had nobody to go with me. I felt kinda bummed out cause I wasn't going
to be able to work. But I kept looking for someone that could go with me to
visit. Finally I found someone at about 6 PM that could help. So by then I only
had 3 hours to do all that I had planned. SO, we went and worked as hard as we
could to complete. We fell short BUT the Lord saw the efforts we were making
and blessed us with half of what we asked. Even though I didn't hold up my end, the
Lord blessed me with 1 new person. He gave me half of what I wanted.
I Know
that the Lord loves us. He will complete all of his promises no matter how big
or small but we also must be willingly to hold up our end of the deal. Look for
the way to apply this in your life. You could say I'm gonna share my testimony
twice a day for a week and if I do it, I ask that you bless me with one person
to go to church with us. Try the Lord see if he hold is promises. I know he
does and always will.
Love,
Elder Hakes
